There are very few exceptions to the rule (FF and pokemon being the main ones) but in general JRPGs do very well in Japan and rather poorly elsewhere. This means Japanese developers have to look at the userbase in Japan and decide which console is strongest. Luckily for them this is easy as the Japanese are very decisive people, every generation they pick their winner quite definitively. This time around it is the Wii, just look at the sales, it is the only area where the Wii is absolutley dominating without any real competition.

So yes, Wii will dominate JRPGs this generation. FF games may be an exception because they sell well away from Japan.
